    2 small pork butts or 1 big shoulder

    I have a birthday party coming up & I'm bbqing 20lbs of pork. I don't really have 18+ hrs to cook this so I'm wondering if I get 2 - 10lbs pork butts if I could get it done faster than cooking a single 20lbs shoulder. I have an offset stick burner I'll run around 250-275. Thanks,
